6. Experiment 1

PPC

After setting up this site according to a blue print and a ‘tip off’ about the product, I wanted to test the site with Google PPC (pay per click ads). However I immediately ran into problems with getting the site approved. Be warned about the horrors of offering a “Bridge page” to Google for promotion.

After a delay of 3 weeks trying to resolve the Bridging page problem, I have decided to start to build links to the site. In order to do this, I feel the need for some structured planning as I have bought a number of domain names now. To both plan and track I have devised a set of interlinked spreadsheets that should keep me reasonably organised.

Anyway here is my solution. You can navigate through the sheets by clicking the links. I will update the information from time to time:
